When I was growing up, disability did affect me a lot, because as a child, you want to play, you cannot play, you want to belong where children are, you cannot belong, you want to do your own things, you are not able to do them. But when I grew up, around let’s say high school, university, because of the care I had around me,

I knew that disability is not inability.

So, from that day it does not disturb me, it does not stop me from doing what I want to do. If I want to sing, I sing, if I want to play,

I play. I do it at my own pace. Because I accepted that I should not limit myself, I should not feel pity on myself. I should go out there an demonstrate. So, it does not limit me, from that time until now.
